      Exactly. From the day he was acquitted, O.J. Simpson spent most of his time acting like a first class jerk. If he had lived anywhere but in L.A. he would have been dealt with. L.A. turns everything into a big, stupid circus and O.J.s smarmy legal team took full advantage. As for O.J. good riddance!

      Almost like it acknowledges the system got it wrong, and opens door saying, well how many other times has this happend that the world wasn't watching on tv? Besides fact if you have the money for defense, innocent and guilt dont matter..Costas I thought laid it out very balanced and ended with, noone else could have done this it was a violent killing, meaning emotion-rage involved, not a simple mugging gone wrong. Also there had been domestic abuse calls by Nicole to the house before hand that media never brings up when covering the story, on top of in the bronco that day besides a gun, he had thousands in cash, a disguise, makeup,clothes and his passport. If was truly suicidal, it leans more towards guilt/realization he cant get away and now faced with life in prison. Also the glove moment we all remember, all experts said was the stupidest decisions to ever do and are multiple reasons why leather gloves wouldnt fit after not worn for a time, on top of he is controlling how to put on. ...also, how'd that devoting his life to find the "real" killer go?

When the murders happened, most everyone was shocked that he could be involved. When his dirty laundry in life started to be exposed in the trial he lost a lot of support from the public. Of course a white cop lying on the stand didn't help the prosecution.

      As Bob said, both the circumstantial and physical evidence against Simpson were very strong and extensive, and the defense never presented any real alibi for Simpson or alternatives that would raise reasonable doubt. As Costas said, just because Fuhrman was a racist and the LAPD officers had been acquitted in the Rodney King beating case didn't make Simpson any less guilty. Have you read up on the extensive spousal abuse that OJ had committed against Nicole for years or the many threats on her life that he had issued?

      The jury has said the verdict was payback for Rodney King. Google it.

      Why do you hope that? If he did, what repercussion did he suffer for two murders?

    I live in the matrix. " Complicated legacy", can anyone tell the truth anymore? Anyone?

    I used to work in a workshop, and we listened to the verdict come in. When it was read, everyone in the cafeteria was hooting and hollering over the acquittal, except for one person who thoroughly believed in his guilt. That person was me. I believed him guilty then, and I still believe he did it.

    There's nothing 'complicated' about a murderer's 'legacy.' He butchered two people in cold blood, got away with it, committed armed robbery, went to prison for it, then died of cancer. It's very warm where he is now.

    I grew up in the 70's & 80's.....and OJ was just a legend. Had the rep as the nicest guy in the world. A buddy of mine met him (ironically enough) in a airport in the 80's (before the murders) and said he was the nicest person you could meet. If have to admit (now) I hadn't heard about the wife abuse. (In fact, I did not even know he was married to Nicole to begin with; I thought he was still married to the lady he was married to when he got the Heisman award.)
